Trading Bots – Could they help in Crypto Margin Trading?

Most of the crypto Traders look for passive income owing to the nature of the market. The market shifts are so random and quick that an investor could lose all his money if he did not act on time, that’s where Trading bots come handy and have been evolving in functionality and sophistication. Our post of today would talk about the trading bots and their role in Crypto Margin Trading. Let’s get started –

What are Trading Bots?

Just as Algorithmic Trading is used by the buy-side in equity, currency or commodity markets, Trading bots that first appeared in FX or foreign exchange market, are now making their way into the cryptosphere.

A Trading Bot is nothing but a piece of code or software or a computer program that takes various indicators as inputs, analyzes the trends and market sentiments, and automatically executes your orders. Bots are a unique form of Artificial Intelligence or AI that answers your queries, shares information, perform actions and you may even not now it’s a computer program.

Bots are designed to improve over time, based on their past decisions and results they have the intelligence to refine themselves and provide precise answers/appropriate action.

Rewards of Trading Bots

One of the primary advantages of Bots is the reason for their evolution. They came into existence to make quick and precise decisions. We all are well aware of the fact that crypto world never sleeps and even a light rain shower could move the candlestick up or down, so irrespective of whether the trader is active or passive he needs to be watchful and be alert and active 24*7 is humanly impossible, then why not ask a piece of code to work for us.

Bots are the “trader” that knows the necessary data, patterns and exactly when to trade — and when not to.

Risks of Trading Bots

While Trading Bots help you to analyze patterns and get insights to indicators, they do not help you to choose trades. Which trade to pick is something you as an experienced trader need to learn yourself. So, it comes with a risk of what if you chose a wrong trade and the bot would only take it a step further may be towards gain or loss.

Another disadvantage that is associated with Trading bots is given the nature of the market; the program is yet not mature to know all the combination and probabilities of an event happening and make a decision that shows a gain. The technology is evolving, and so they need to have a working knowledge of how the market works to make the right decisions.

Trading Bots assisting in Margin Trading?

There are many Trading bots available on crypto traders to assist with Crypto Margin Trading, and each has their own distinctive features. Listing down few of them based on the popularity [ Please use these strategies at your own risk]

While the Trading Bots sound like an effective trading strategy, it is challenging to gauge their actual performance, and no bot provider would ever provide this. In Arbitrage trading, these bots could be quite useful and have a distinct advantage as they can quickly learn about the slightest price movement and make a decision and keep scanning for such price differences across geographies. However, as the strategy gets complicated and affected by more inputs, it gets tough to rely on a computer program entirely. So, make sure to trade cautiously and be fully aware of the actions performed.
